DANGERFIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD. Observe fireprevention rules, particularly NO SMOKING.Before servicing any part of the fuel system,disconnect electrical system at the battery. Drainthe fuel system completely. Use an approvedcontainer to collect and store fuel. Wipe up anyspillage immediately. Materials used to containspillage must be disposed of in an approvedreceptacle. Any fuel system service must beperformed in a well ventilated area.
FUEL LEAKAGE FROM ANY PART OF THE FUELSYSTEM CAN BE A FIRE AND EXPLOSIONHAZARD WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BODILYINJURY OR DEATH. Careful periodic inspection ofthe entire fuel system is mandatory, particularlyafter engine storage. All fuel components,including fuel tanks, whether plastic, metal, orfiberglass, fuel lines, primer bulbs, fittings,swelling, and must be inspected for corrosion.Any sign of leakage or deterioration necessitatesreplacement before further engine operation.
Fuel PumpsGeneral Information
Fuel Pump Description/OperationThe fuel pump is a crankcase-pressure-operated, di-aphragm-type pump. Crankcase pulsating pressureis transferred by way of a passage (hole) from thecrankcase to the fuel pump.
When the piston travels upward a vacuum is createdin the crankcase. This vacuum pulls in the fuel pumpdiaphragm, the inlet check valve (in fuel pump) isopened fuel is drawn into fuel pump.
Downward motion of the piston forces out the fuelpump diaphragm, closes the inlet check valve (tokeep fuel from returning to fuel tank) and opens theoutlet check valve, forcing fuel to the carburetors.
Checking for Restricted Fuel FlowCaused by Anti-Siphon ValvesWhile anti-siphon valves are helpful from a safetystand-point they clog, may be too small, or they mayhave too heavy a spring. The pressure drop that oc-curs with these valves can create operational prob-lems and/or powerhead damage by restricting flow offuel. Some symptoms of restricted (lean) fuel flow are:1-Loss of fuel pump pressure2-Loss of power3-High speed surging4-Preignition/detonation (piston dome erosion)5-Engine hesitates upon acceleration6-Engine runs rough7-Engine quits and cannot be restarted8-Engine will not start9-Vapor lock
Any type of anti-siphon device must be located be-tween the engine fuel inlet and fuel tank outlet. Amethod of checking [if such a device (or bad fuel) isa problem source] is to operate the engine with a sep-arate fuel supply which is known to be good.
If it is found that the anti-siphon valve is the cause ofthe problem, either 1) replace the anti-siphon valve,or 2) replace it with a solenoid-operated fuel shutoffvalve.
TestingInstall clear fuel hose(s) between fuel pump and car-buretor(s). Run engine, and inspect hose(s) for airbubbles. If air bubbles are found, see “Air Bubbles inFuel Line” . If air bubbles are NOT found, see “Lackof Fuel Pump Pressure”.

Fuel Recirculation SystemSystem DescriptionAt idle, unburned fuel collects and puddles in thecrankcase behind the reed valves. The recirculationsystem is a means to route this excess, unburned fuelback to the combustion chamber.
One way check valves are located on the crankcasecover, typically below the carburetors. Crankcasepressure forces the puddled fuel through the checkvalves. A hose connected to the check valve routesthe fuel to the transfer port cover, whereby the fuel isintroduced back to the combustion chamber.
Testing Fuel Recirculation System1. Test for proper air flow through check valves as in-
dicated by arrows.

Auto EnrichnerSystem DescriptionThe Sport Jet utilizes an automatic enrichner to startthe engine. The auto enrichner is a self contained unitwith three hose connections to allow for 1) fuel inlet,2) air inlet, 3) fuel/air mixture outlet.
Fuel is supplied to the auto enrichner by a hose con-nection to the carburetor float bowl. Air is supplied tothe valve by a hose connection to the sound attenua-tor.
When the engine is cranked a fuel/air mixture isdrawn into the engine from the auto enrichner by ahose connection to the balance tubes. The carburetorshutters must be completely closed for the engine todraw the fuel/air mixture from the auto enrichner.
A wax pellet controls the position of a slide valve andtapered needle. The stator supplies electrical currentto a heater element inside the auto enrichner. As theheater element melts the wax pellet the fuel/air mix-ture is slowly closed off by the slide valve/taperedneedle. The engine continues to run from the fuel/airmixture supplied by the carburetor idle circuit.

Testing Auto EnrichnerOn a cold engine the tapered needle will move fromfull open to full closed after approximately 2 - 2.5 min-utes of engine running.
On a cold engine resistance between the two yellowleads is 18 - 20 ohms. As the engine warms up the re-sistance reading will approach infinity.
